Black Man's Dilemma

Where would we go if told to leave
This land where our kidnapped forefathers grieved
For life as it once were
And not as destiny's mind perceived

Would our foreign kin whose blood we share
In Africa and Europe.....welcome us there

To this soil...and grant us ...

Year's day begin...
As then
...Those years ago...today
